Por la vida

For Life

Por la vida

How easy it is to distort words,Que fácil es tergiversar las palabras,
Remove a period, an accent from here or there.Quitar un punto, un acento de aquí o de allá.
And in the end the sentence sounds so different,Y al final la frase suena tan distinta,
It has nothing to do with the original.No tiene nada que ver con el original.

Looking at our world today it occurs to me,Mirando nuestro mundo hoy se me ocurre,
Maybe our trap is the same,Puede que nuestra trampa sea igual,
We have made our ownHemos hecho nuestro
What was originally a loan,Lo que en un principio era un préstamo,
That God made us whenQue Dios nos hizo cuando

He gave us life with the air,Nos dio vida con el aire,
He gave us light with the starsNos dio luz con las estrellas
And the romance of the moon with the sea,Y el romance de la luna con el mar,
He gave us fire, and he gave us water,Nos dio el fuego, y nos dio el agua,
He gave us the valley and the mountainNos dio el valle y la montaña
And the gift of voice to sing.Y el regalo de la voz para cantar.

And he made us like children,Y nos hizo como niños,
He gave us games of value,Nos dio juegos de valor,
A certain dose of affection,Cierta dosis de cariño,
He gave us games, he gave us humor,Nos dio juegos, nos dio humor,
He gave us life, life He gave us,Nos dio la vida, la vida Él nos dio,
Without reason he loved us.Sin razón alguna nos amó.

It's time to start from the beginningEs tiempo de empezar por el principio
Look at the sky and start over,Mirar al cielo y volver a comenzar,
It's time to understand that nothing is ours,Es hora de entender que nada es nuestro,
That we will have to give everything.Que todo lo tendremos que entregar.
That only in God is lifeQue solamente en Dios está la vida
And only He can take it awayY solamente Él la puede quitar
We live on borrowed timeVivimos de prestado
And sooner or later we will seeY tarde o temprano nos veremos
Face to face in front of the one who..Cara a cara frente a aquel que..

Gave us life with the air,Nos dio vida con el aire,
Gave us light with the starsNos dio luz con las estrellas
And the romance of the moon with the sea,Y el romance de la luna con el mar,
Gave us fire, and he gave us water,Nos dio el fuego, y nos dio el agua,
Gave us the valley and the mountainNos dio el valle y la montaña
And the gift of voice to sing.Y el regalo de la voz para cantar.

And he made us like children,Y nos hizo como niños,
He gave us games of value,Nos dio juegos de valor,
A certain dose of affection,Cierta dosis de cariño,
He gave us games, he gave us humor,Nos dio juegos, nos dio humor,
He gave us life, life He gave us,Nos dio la vida, la vida El nos dio,
Without reason he loved us.Sin razón alguna nos amó.
